Package.

1. 12V 55W CANBUS AC Ballast (One/Two pieces).

*** NOT WORK FOR regular halogen headlight/fog-light bulbs.

Please note it is a replacement ballast for 12V aftermarket HID Xenon kit, NOT OEM ballast, NOT HID full kit.

Features:

55W AC HID Ballast: ProGear Tech Performance Genuine 55W High Power AC (Alternative Current) HID (High Intensity Discharge) Xenon ballast are one of the best choices for consumers when comparing quality & spending.

NO OBC Error: Our Authentic HID Xenon ballast equipped latest built-in intelligent HID decoder which follows OE / OEM standard, perfectly fit for CANBUS vehicles’ lighting modules without OBC error.

Slim Ballast with Silicon Sealed Circuit Board > IPV6: 55W high power fast bright, 3 x longer lifespan than cheap DC ballast. No Flickering at ignition, Low ignition profile keep your car running smoothly, 100% waterproof greater than normal IPV6, excellent vibration resistance, high heat, and cold resistance, protected from thermal shock, moisture, and corrosive materials.

Installation: Plug and Play AMP connectors: 99.9% fit for aftermarket HID bulbs with AMP connectors. Please refer AD photos for the AMP connectors. Please physically check the car’s stock bulb connector and make sure suitable for installation. MAKE SURE IT FITS.

Brightness: 55W VS 35W, It is quite difficult to distinguish the difference between two STRONG light if you stand in front of them in close distance. Because pupil contracted and limited the amount of light that enters your eyes. However, provide a longer distance > 20 m, you could see the difference.

Caution:

NOT WORK FOR regular halogen headlight/fog-light bulbs.

Please note it is a replacement ballast for 12V HID Xenon kit

NOT OEM ballast, NOT a HID Full kit

NOT work for OEM HID Xenon lights, for aftermarket HID Xenon kit only.

No need authorized mechanic installation and they won’t help you anyway because they stick on OEM kits only!

Not work for DRL mode and Motorcycles: Daytime Running Light feeds 9V to bulb module. HID won't operate properly at this lower voltage, will cause flickering. 55W NOT recommend for twin-light motorcycles because its charger rate (not capacity) normally less than 13A, so will drain out the motorcycle’s battery.

55W ballasts NOT recommended pair with 35W HID bulbs: 35W HID bulbs will work on 55W HID ballasts but won’t increase the brightness because of bulb’s output still 35W only. Also, color temperature will change and shorten the bulb’s lifespan. Not work for 75W/100W HID bulbs, 75W/100W bulbs MUST use 75W/100W HID ballasts.

MAKE SURE you know how to install it.

**Strongly recommend refer Youtube to familiar the installation work before purchasing!

Troubleshooting

How to make HID kit will work properly every time?

Turn the engine on first, before turning on the HID kit. Do not turn the HID on and off frequently.

HID bulb modules won't fit:

Check to see if you purchased the appropriate bulb size for your vehicle. You can refer to your vehicle’s owner’s manual for the bulb size. Some vehicles require additional HID adaptor/holder to hold the bulb in place.

Bulbs flicking during operation or turns on then both sides go out:

Please check the car battery and headlight fuse, use at least 25 Amp fuse if both lights share the same fuse, use at least 15 Amp fuse for lights if use separate fuses.

inspect all the connections between ballasts and vehicles sockets/wire harness.

Inspect all the connections between ballasts and HID bulb modules.

Disconnect all the connectors. Clean all connectors with alcohol. Wait more than 5 minutes to reset ballast micro-processer and then reconnect the connectors. Do not loss mating or miswiring connections.

Disable DRL (Daytime Running Light) and/or Auto On/Off Headlamp features.

Inspect electrical current instability and Grounding.

Determine if additional high-power relay wirings are required to provide enough power (ballast need 6-8A current when ignition) to the HID systems.

On-board computer displays lights failure warnings when the HID lights are turned on:

For some vehicles such as BMW, Audi VW and Mercedes, they have onboard computers to restrict outsource components such as HID conversion kit. Therefore, the only way for such cars to install HID kit is to install a CANBUS compatible kit or additional error canceller.

HID will shut down itself sometimes:

Inside the HID ballast, there is a microchip which is used to detect whether there are any potential problems, such as sudden high impulse or shortage of power input from battery or extremely high heat will trigger the self-protect and shut the ballast off temporarily. It takes about 5 mins for the microchip to reset itself and the ballast will be working again. Once this happens, please turn off the HID and wait about 5 to 10 mins.

Inspect for electrical current instability and Grounding. Determine if additional high-power relay wirings are required to provide enough power (ballast need 6-8A current when ignition) to the HID systems or add extra grounding (to car frame) on that side. This is a common grounding problem from aging wiring.

The colors or lighting of the two bulbs are different, vibrate/one/both lights go out while driving:

Ensure that the bulbs are securely installed in the light housing socket and both headlights are at the same leveling angle to the road. Inspect for damage in the headlight housing, electrical current instability and Grounding. Switch the failing bulb module to the working side to see if the problem remains on that side. (keep the engine running when test). If the problem still happens at that non-working side, it may the ballast and/or socket/relay harness cause the problem. Therefore, please switch again the ballast from non-working side to working side to verify the health of socket/relay harness. If the ballast work fine, it is the socket cause the problems. please check the socket connection. You may add extra grounding (to car frame) on that side. This is a common grounding problem from aging wiring.

For new bulbs, this is NORMAL there are chances that the colors are different for first couple hours of burning or even flicker a little bit. Since the power has not been stabilized yet. However, as soon as the power is stabilized, the bulbs will become normal.
